Welcome to Mutts & Mates
DOG BOARDING, DAYCARE & TRAINING IN MINNESOTA!
Welcome to Mutts and Mates, we are an in-home dog-sitting business with a focus on a dog’s needs and creating a comfortable and relaxing environment for each dog.
Soaking up those last feels of summer with cool drinks from the hose.
Wishing all you kids a blessed and happy school year! Don’t forget, your dogs can always use a quick lesson or refresher too! Old dogs CAN learn new tricks.

This is what Sunday is all about…
Hey, Maties! Have you met Millie?!? Well now you have! She’s a #beeneese with a heart of gold and the biggest #puppy personality of them all! She’s here for the weekend and the main thing we are working on is relaxing around other dogs and distractions. She’s learning fast!

Dempsey is back for a few days!
This is Indigo! This is his first day of doggy daycare and our first time watching a Great Dane. We had a super fun morning and afternoon with him as he is a huge love, wants to be around people and learns so fast. We look forward to hosting him more for daycare and overnight stays!

We are working on some loose leash manners today with Indigo. He’s our very newest, and very biggest, friend. Some things you can do to create good leash manners are to get a slip lead, eliminate distractions and reward. A good slip lead that goes around the snout and neck will help to direct the dog to what you want them to do. This will lead to better behavior and allow you to direct them away from distractions like sniffing and marking. An easily distracted dog should walk on the inside to avoid things like mailboxes, messes and smells. Lastly we want to reward with words and treats so they know they are doing what we want them too. I was using the word “good heel” for Indigo but you can use a treat pouch and a clicker too! Happy loose leash walking, friends!
